View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know what this word Reflash or Flashing means in N900 , i often hear it and really wanna know whatz about .i know Meego Code releasing soon from Nokia and everybody talk about Reflashing , what does it mean and Flashing also what it mean .
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've messed up my n900. I installed OpenJazz from extras-devel (stupidly ignoring warnings about using extras-devel as a noob) and it appears to have killed the phone.
Now all my desktop widgets have vanished (when I add one, it disappears from the list of available widgets, but isn't visible on the screen), and I can't run any applications (apart from built in things like Calendar and Settings).
I guess I've messed up a system file somewhere and I need to reflash the device, but before I do that I wanted to see if anyone's had this before, and if it's solvable without reflashing? It'd also be interesting to know if anyone can identify exactly what the problem is...
I have some problems with my new LG GW525 phone.
1) When I change the wall paper picture, the phone restart
2) When I open the browser & goto a page, as soon as the page loaded the phone restart.
3) When I try to login to facebook, the phone says "Unable to complete the operation" after few minutes I entered the username & Password.
4) Push email it always says "try again later. The connection to the service unexpectedly failed. Please try again later"
I can manually receive emails without problem.I thought of reflashing the phone to see the problem will get solved. But how can I reflash this phone?
I had to erase everything from my C6-01 because of some issues I had. The problem now is that my old applications that came from Nokia package disappeared (such as Nokia Store). About Nokia Store, I have tried various ways to reinstall it, guided by the pieces of advices I had found on this site, yet nothing works for me. Plus, I cannot seem to resize my pictures when I set them as wallpapers. Everything went haywire. How I can restore my applications?
View 7 Replies View Relatedmy Nexus 5 has recently run into a problem where it suddenly decided to get stuck in a bootloop. I figured I could just reflash the stock rom via the boot loader with the wugfresh root toolkit but that unfortunately didn't work. But by doing this I noticed that my bootloader was not staying unlocked when I try to unlock it. Every time I unlock the boot loader and it restarts the bootloader automatically re-locks. I then proceeded to try and manually flashing the stock rom files individually and unlocking the bootloader each time I flash a file which was really annoying. It still hasn't worked and I'm starting to get worried because I've also started to notice my recovery can't really factory reset or wipe the cache. Instead I get this message at the bottom of the screen:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /ache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /ache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /ache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /ache/recovery/last_log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /ache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /ache/recovery/last_install
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
So now I'm completely stumped, could this be the end of my Nexus 5?
Is there any program for Mac and Nokia N97 mini to handle and send sms and such on screen, as can be done with PC Suite on PC? I tried Fonelink but it doe not wotk with N97.
View 4 Replies View RelatedN97 Mini vs E72..Not sure if i should post this question just here or post it both here and in the E series sub forum, i'll post it in both just in case....
N97 Mini Pros
Touch Screen
Bigger Screen
Fold out keypad
30fps Video (VGA) quality
5mp Carl Zies lens
Dual Flash (flash for video and flash for photos)
E72 Pros
600mhz cpu
Mega 3G (Next G access)
Symbian 3rd (More apps available eg coreplayer)
Bigger Battery/Longer life.
Now I have the E72, but i've been trying to talk my wife into having the N97 mini, but she says why don't I have the N87 and she can have my E72, well for me, it's literally a coin toss, they both have features i Like, both have the mandatory 5mp camera, both have wifi, compass, gps all the high end features... but the N97 mini offers a nice big keyboard where as the E72 does not but the E72 offers extra frequencies which work with high speed on other networks.So for me it comes down to build quality and i can't fault the E72, in all honesty if I had of just bought an N97 mini (instead ot the E72 just 1 week ago) i'd probably wish to keep the N97 mini.So i have an E72 1 week old,, and my wife's contract ends in only a couple of months, so now were looking at an upgrade for her.have no idea which i prefer, anyone got both or played with both the E72 and the N97 mini, what's your advice? I can't really fault the E72, im scared the N97 mini will break in 10 minutes.
When i try to locate my position I always go to problems. This is how I'm doing it so you correct me if I'm wrong.
Applications->location->GPS data->an it says: serching for GPS devices-> calculating GPS data-> and after 30 seconds it said that GPS works poorly indors and closed spaces.
This prosess its been done always and I belive that is why I cant use navigatin option on downloaded maps.
I have just noticed the new nokia maps thing on the front page and was just wondering if the drive navigation was a trial. And if it ever connects to the internet without warning as I am not on a umlimted data plan.

Anyone else having issues getting the N97 mini to charge from their car, I bought the DC-6 as it's listed as compatible but nothing happens when I plug it in - I've tested this with the engine both running and not turned on. The car socket is working, tested with another device. Also just as an extra design point - it would have been nice for Nokia to put an LED on the charger to let you know when power was getting to the device.

I was about to purchase a N97 Mini, however the retailer I was going to buy it from offered it to me in White or Pink. According to the official Nokia website, the N97 Mini is only available in Garnet (the coffee brown colour) and Cherry Black.
Are there more than these two colours avilable? I do not want to purchase an illegal product!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought N97 Mini from Newegg. The strange thing is it gets hot very quickly(usually in 5 minutes) when in use, making me uncomfortable to use any of its functions for too long. I wonder if it is normal for a smartphone to get hot so fast? Is it battery's problem?

Today I had just taken it off the charger, read my e-mail and browsed the webb with Opera for the morning news. Then I put it in my pocket only to find it powered off an hour later.

I had the same problem 3 years ago with my SE w800i and I just had to update my phone to solve the problem. I've tried to do the same with N97 Mini, but Nokia Software Updater says, that there is no new update for my phone. My Firmware is 10.2.020.It doesn't matter if i use flash or not. The lines are on the screen when I'm trying to take a photo, not just after i take a photo. Same thing is when I switch it to video mode to record videos. Also there are much more lines when I'm trying to make a photo of TV that is turned on. I have also N95-4 (8GB) and there is no problem when I want to take a picture of the same TV. I bet it's just a software problem, but I can't update my phone, because of my ProductCode.
What can I do to fix this? I am very disappointed and if there is no way to fix it, then I think I'm gonna return that phone and probably never buy anything from Nokia. $500 for High-End phone that straight out of box is not working properly is not what I expected from NOKIA.
I've just purchased (1/6/2010) one N97 mini (p.code: 0585089) with latest sw installed (v11.0.045) but I have discovered with my disappointment that it has lots of bugs still unsolved.
list of discovered problems:
Radio FM research: it gets stuck > solution: battery removal
Using FM radio: it gets stuck > battery removal necessary
Bluetooth headphone usage, device has been suddenly disconnected any tempted actions to reconnect the device were unsuccessfull > switch off, switch on the N97mini worked.
Bluetooth headphone volume is low
Playing music: N97 gets stuck > battery removal necessary
As the topic says: I can not detect my headset BH-102. What to do? My old Nokia 6500 slide made the detection without a problem.

1. Take the contact list, Search someone & make a Voice call with any one of his / her numbers, hang the line, quit the contact list. after some time the phone goes to sleep / restarts.

The C: drive on my N97 contains quite some debris. And I want to clean it up. So I did a hard reset: LeftShift+Space+BkSpace+On . Yet this seems to leave the C drive untouched. For instance, MfE log files are still there and I did not install MfE yet.
How do I format the C: drive?
on Saturday I got a new N97 Mini with a contract.
On Monday I installed various Ovi Applications.
I tried listening to the Radio (via an gratis app), and the app froze. So I tried to turn the GSM off and on.
Ever since then It only shows a white screen with a blue Nokia Logo.
I doesnt react to anything. Not the turn off-button nor anything else.
So I removed the akku, put it back in, still only white screen with blue Nokia Logo.
I need to use a headset with my N97 mini as I do a lot of driving so I purchased a Bluetrek headset. I paired the device and everything was ok, the headset icon was on on the phone. However when I make a call, the sound still comes through the handset rather than the headset. I then got a friend to ring me and I answered via the headset, however the sound still came through the handset. I thought it might be a faulty headset so I tried the standard wired headset you get with the phone, this did the same. The sound was still coming through the handset.

i got n97 mini. i had some probs with it so i started saving apps from ovi on my memory card and my msgs on the mass memory so if my n97 need to be reset i wont lose too much data.
now i got two probs,
1. i installed couple of programs from ovi, and they worked for a while and now when i click on them it doesnt do anything, i tried to uninstall them but they dont apear on my installion apps, so i tried to download again from ovi but it doesnt let me download what i already downloaded , i even formatted my memory card , now all the apps icons removed but still i cant download from ovi.
2. the msgs on the mass memory works but once in a while when i receive or send an sms i get an error msg which tells me that now it will use the phone memory, andi need to go to settings again and chage it to mass memory and the msg i had just sent is saved on the phone memory and not on the mass memory.
